Initialize the Client Environment Variables
twilio-java supports the credentials, region, and edge values stored in the following environment variables: •TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID •TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN •TWILIO_REGION •TWILIO_EDGE If using these variables, the above client initialization can be skipped.
Iterate through records
The library automatically handles paging for you. With the read method, you can specify the number of records you want to receive (limit) and the maximum size you want each page fetch to be (pageSize). The library will then handle the task for you, fetching new pages under the hood as you iterate over the records. For more information, view the auto-generated library docs.
Specify Region and/or Edge
To take advantage of Twilio's Global Infrastructure, specify the target Region and/or Edge for the client: This will result in the hostname transforming from api.twilio.com to api.sydney.au1.twilio.com.
